How can I hook up two monitors to my PC?

Can I hook up two tvs/monitors to my desktops' one HDMI? Stream vid on one & surf web on the other?

• Can I hook up two tvs/monitors to my desktops' one HDMI? Stream vid on one & surf web on the other? Talk to me like a 4yr old 'cause I'm no IT wiz, nor am I made of money. My pc is new and plenty capable of handling what ever I throw at it and so is my isp connection. Plenty of speed and wifi ready. No wifi adapters for either tv, uless I have to. I've looked at HDMI switchers and considered doing something by switching "Users" Seems like a combo of things like that should get it done, I just don't know which. #2......I'm doing this because I can't figure out how to get the vga port on the pc to work to save my life. Any ideas about that would be great as well. The vga port did have a black "do not remove" rubber plug in it straight out of the box. And obviously hdmi is preferred anyway. Seems like that could be fixed from the control panel under the "manage/configure displays". I can't make that happen either. Very frustrating. I feel like I'm 1 or 2 clicks away but all it would be now is poke and hope. If I do get lucky and make it all work..................I'll have no idea what I did to make things work! One last thing while I've got your attention. How can I check if my pc is bluetooth ready? If their is anything that you use to make internet tv a great experience, I'd love to hear bout it. Thx everyone. [email protected] if you want to reach me that way............................john

• Answer:

  For bluetooth, look in bluetooth settings, if it won't activate then you need to buy a bluetooth dongle and voila, bluetooth. If you are using onboard video and it has hdmi or vga out, only one will work at a time. Motherboard graphics cards are not designed for multiple screens. If you have a video card with a single hdmi output and a motherboard vga output, then once again only one will work at a time. If you want to use multiple displays, you need a graphics card that can support multiple displays, or multiple video cards. They aren't expensive nowadays (my video card supports dual output, was bought for i think $240 and now can be bought for $60 or so)
